Territorial Nursing Service

The Territorial Force equivalent to the regular army's QAIMNS.
Formed in 1908, and under the administrative arrangements of the County Associations. The TFNS outgrew its regular army sister.

Formation of the QAIMNS Reserve and the Territorial Force Nursing Service quickly followed and in the first week of WORLD WAR I, 1914-18, these nursing services mobilised for duty with the Expeditionary Force, serving through the war years on every front, in every campaign.

Another war over, the inevitable changes of a post-war period followed, but this time bringing less spectacular transitions. Valuable additions were made to the parent QAIMNS through the Military Families Nursing Service and Queen Alexandra’sMilitary Nursing Service India
